医学成像交互工具包（MITK）已成为开源软件已有近10年了。在此期间，医疗图像处理域中软件系统的要求变得越来越复杂。本文的目的是展示MITK如何演变成能够涵盖临床工作流程的所有步骤，包括数据检索，图像分析，诊断，治疗计划，干预支持和治疗控制。MITK提供模块化和可扩展性在不同的级别。除原始工具包，模块系统，针对小型系统范围的小型服务，基于开放服务网关计划（OSGI）标准的面向服务的体系结构以及可扩展且可配置的应用程序框架允许使用MITK ，根据需要扩展和部署。实施了精制的软件流程，以提供高质量的软件，简化监管要求的满足以及使团队合作团队的团队合作。或作为具有自定义扩展的应用程序框架。 MITK Workbench已作为高度可扩展且可自定义的最终用户应用程序发布。提供了用于工具跟踪，图像引导疗法，扩散成像以及各种外部包装（例如CTK，DCMTK，OpenCV，Sofa，Python）的可选支持。 MITK也已用于几个FDA/CE认证的应用程序，这些应用程序展示了高质量的软件和严格的开发过程。MITK提供了一个具有高度模块化和互操作性的多功能平台，非常适合满足当今的挑战性任务明天的临床动机研究。
The Medical Imaging Interaction Toolkit (MITK) has been available as open-source software for almost 10 years now. In this period the requirements of software systems in the medical image processing domain have become increasingly complex. The aim of this paper is to show how MITK evolved into a software system that is able to cover all steps of a clinical workflow including data retrieval, image analysis, diagnosis, treatment planning, intervention support, and treatment control.MITK provides modularization and extensibility on different levels. In addition to the original toolkit, a module system, micro services for small, system-wide features, a service-oriented architecture based on the Open Services Gateway initiative (OSGi) standard, and an extensible and configurable application framework allow MITK to be used, extended and deployed as needed. A refined software process was implemented to deliver high-quality software, ease the fulfillment of regulatory requirements, and enable teamwork in mixed-competence teams.MITK has been applied by a worldwide community and integrated into a variety of solutions, either at the toolkit level or as an application framework with custom extensions. The MITK Workbench has been released as a highly extensible and customizable end-user application. Optional support for tool tracking, image-guided therapy, diffusion imaging as well as various external packages (e.g. CTK, DCMTK, OpenCV, SOFA, Python) is available. MITK has also been used in several FDA/CE-certified applications, which demonstrates the high-quality software and rigorous development process.MITK provides a versatile platform with a high degree of modularization and interoperability and is well suited to meet the challenging tasks of today's and tomorrow's clinically motivated research.
